PVA in a Day training has Bug in Lab 5

[mlaurich]

Downloaded and installed the PVA in A Day solution

All was working smoothly until Lab - 05-Integrate with prebuilt Power Automate flows.pdf

Task 3: Add Return Item action to the conversation

When I select the 'Call an action', the "Return Item" flow shows up in the choices however I cannot select it. Just highlights it...I can select the other "Get Order Info" flow.....In addition I am able to select the View Flow Details and it opens Power Automate...I am able to edit/save the flow but nothing appears to make it selectable.

In previous lab step (Task 2: Call Get Order Info by Email action) you call the "Get Order Info" flow and that worked fine.

Any thoughts on why this would not work? I even re-imported the solution to see if this was an issue but appears it is a bug in the training?

Hi mlaurich,

for the flows that that not showing in PVA, please go to Power Automate portal and check if these flows have any inputs/outputs with names that have spaces, numbers or any special characters in them.

If if find any, please try renaming such variables to have only characters and "_"  in the flow, save the flow and go to PVA to see if they now show up.

Unfortunately, there is a regression (already being fixed) in PVA that makes the bot consider flows with variable names containing spaces, numbers, special characters as invalid. Renaming these variable should fix it.

PS: this bug is already in process of being addressed.

Yes @MarKol ,

Inside the workflow the response has space.

this should be renamed from "Return Code" to "Return_Code".  This should make it show on the list of available flows.

the bug fix will be in Prod soon.

Perfect and great to know but sounds like will be a non issue moving forward. As soon as I removed spaces, all worked perfect. Thanks so much for the fast reply
